Biology Club The Biology Club, a newly- formed extracurricular activity, was organized mainly to enrich the students' knowledge in biolo- gy and to teach the students the scientific method. The two projects that were ini- tiated under the guidance of Sister Martha William were the acquisition and upkeep of an aquarium and a seminar fea- turing the members' findings on their experimentation of the effects of colchicine on malig- nant tissues. Through their arduous and proficient endeavors, the stu- dents gained an insight in the ever-reaching world of science.
